The name should be "Thynn", although his father's was "Thynne". —Ashley Y 07:38, 2005 Jan 25 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Thynne → Alexander George Thynne, 7th Marquess of Bath

Discussion from a successful January 24 requested move

Move to article following naming convention. Note that an article has already been created at the destination, which will need to be merged in to the more detailed article. (Raised by anon on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous).) Noisy | Talk 19:05, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

• Support. Noisy | Talk 19:05, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Should be at Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath. There's no reason to include his middle name, and for some reason he changed his family's surname to remove the "e". Proteus (Talk) 20:44, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Support with name corrected to "Thynn". —Ashley Y 07:36, 2005 Jan 25 (UTC)

I'm just going to do this myself, no admin needed. —Ashley Y 08:11, 2005 Jan 25 (UTC)

• Oppose. Pointless move. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:29, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Support the move which has already been made, as it is apparently in accordance both with the standard of the peerage project and the way the man spells his own name. / up+land 12:30, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What happened to the "e" at the end of his surname?

Shouldn't it be Alexander Thynne? john k

Never mind. john k 07:07, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

He dropped the "e" because he did not want the pronunciation to wind up rhyming with "pine" but prefers it to rhyme with "thin"
